Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for rebuilding redundant array of independent disks (RAID). The method comprises dividing a RAID group including a disk into a plurality of stripes in response to detecting a failure of the disk, and each stripe includes a disk slice across all disks of the RAID group. The method further comprises mapping the plurality of stripes to other RAID groups respectively and rebuilding data on the plurality of stripes in other RAID groups. Embodiments of the present disclosure rebuild in parallel the stripes of the failed RAID group in other RAID groups, thereby effectively increasing the rebuilding speed for RAID and ensuring reliability of the RAID group.
